July brought another improvisation experience.
The photographer and videographer Carlos Jiménez Cahua–who began his undergrad years at Princeton just as I finished my PhD there in composition!–had me listen to Swedish, a language I don’t know, for an hour. Then I “talked” in that “language”, that is, I made up a “monologue”, and delivered it in faked Swedish. Wonderful: I was free to chat, get dubious, get assertive, murmur, shout, laugh, with no need of language to argue my case.

Here is a new duo track with me on keyboards and CASE on bass. Some post-processing makes it sound more jangly and raw: https://soundcloud.com/
